The rapid development of the domestic auto industry has driven the lube market

As the rapid development of the domestic auto industry has led to the rapid growth of the lubricants market, from the point of view of the product structure of the production plant, the three major oil products, namely the internal combustion engine oil, hydraulic oil and gear oil, are mainly used, and its output accounts for the total output. It also reflects the current domestic consumption structure of lubricating oil. From the perspective of quality, although the proportion of medium-to-high grade lubricants has steadily increased in China in recent years, the percentage of medium-to-high grade products in finished lubricants is basically the same, but it is still far behind the ratio of developed countries. The demand forecast is closely related to the oil demand in the automotive, machinery and transportation industries. The entire machinery industry accounts for a quarter of the country's industrial output value. The development and progress of the machinery industry are accelerated. There is a need for high-grade lubricants that meet the requirements of high mechanical load, long life, low fuel consumption, energy saving, and environmental protection.

According to the development plan of the relevant department, combined with the investigation of the department's oil equipment, the demand for domestic lubricants. The development of high-quality base oils for China's lubricants is the basis for the production of high-grade lubricants. The base oils are mainly distillate oils such as vacuum oils, catalytic wax oils, and hydrogenated tail oils. These distillate oils can be used as base oils for lubricating oils as well as high-quality catalyst materials, reforming materials and ethylene raw materials. . Most domestic lubricants are produced in large refineries and their base oil supply provides the most reasonable distillate after optimizing the crude oil processing process. However, a considerable number of lubricant production companies rely on outsourcing of base oil production, because the refinery will not specifically optimize the process, so this type of lubricants factory is difficult to purchase high-quality base oil raw materials, which is China's low-grade lubricant One of the main reasons at present.

Crude oil is a low-grade naphthenic crude oil with low sulfur and low wax content. The lubricants produced have a low viscosity index. It has the advantages of heavy weight, high density, high viscosity and low condensation point. It is the best raw material for the production of certain special lubricants. The low-condensation point naphthenic lubricant produced by it can be used as electrical oil and refrigerating machine oil. , rubber industrial oils, cylinder oils, greases, etc. Lubricant base oils for crude oil not only have higher yields than paraffin bases, but also have a short flow, which results in lower production costs than paraffinic base oils. Lubricant base oil produced from crude oil is not only of good quality, but also has low cost and strong market competitiveness. China's oil resources are increasingly in short supply. How to use resources reasonably and effectively according to the quality of China's crude oil is a question worthy of study and optimization.
